Virgin aircraft damaged at Tullamarine 27/07/25

[red750]

A Virgin Boeing 737 was being towed to a hanger for maintenance on Sunday night when it became detatched from the tug and rolled into it, which tore the left side skin of the aircraft from the front door to halfway to the wing.

Ouch, that's going to require a little more than a tin of polishing compound!

 

I wonder if the tug driver is looking for a new job, commensurate with his true abilities, right about now? - "Did you want fries with that?" 😢

Another job for " duct rape " . LoL .

Nah. It'll polish out.

Towbar became disconnected I believe.. Probably no one in the aircraft.  Nev
